The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole

A augmentedA     Bm7Bm7      C# minorC#m Dmaj7Dmaj7    (Bm7Bm7)
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

A augmentedA      E minor 7Em7 / A7A7   Dmaj7Dmaj7       (G7G7)
Jack Frost nipping at your nose

A augmentedA     G7G7        A augmentedA  EbM7Ebm7   (D7D7)
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

C# minorC#m     Dm7Dm7 G7G7 Cmaj7Cmaj7  Bm7Bm7   DmDm
And folks dressed up like Eskimos...... everybody

A augmentedA   Bm7Bm7    C# minorC#m  Dmaj7Dmaj7   (Bm7Bm7)
knows a turkey and some mistletoe

A augmentedA    E minor 7Em7 /  Fmaj  Dmaj7Dmaj7    (G7G7)
Help to make the season bright

A augmentedA   G7G7       A augmentedA    (EbM7Ebm7 / D7D7)
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

C# minorC#m    Cmaj  Bm7Bm7  DmDm     A augmentedA
Will find it hard to sleep to....   night

E minor 7Em7   A7A7   Dmaj7Dmaj7
They know that Santa’s on his way

E minor 7Em7    A7A7       Dmaj7Dmaj7
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh

Dm7Dm7        G7G7      Cmaj7Cmaj7
And every mother’s child is gonna spy

B7B7             E7E7
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

A augmentedA   Bm7Bm7        C# minorC#m  Dmaj7Dmaj7  (Bm7Bm7)
And so I’m offering this simple phrase

A augmentedA      E minor 7Em7 / A7A7  Dmaj7Dmaj7    (G7G7)
To kids from one to ninety-two

A augmentedA     G7G7         A augmentedA     (EbM7Ebm7 / D7D7)
Although it’s been said many times, many ways

C# minorC#m / Cmaj7Cmaj7 /   Bm7Bm7    E7E7 / A augmentedA
 Merry Christmas........... to.. you      {on (A augmentedA) strum slowly to fade}
